BRITISH GOVERNMENT'S “NEW. HOUSING POLICY.

· HEATED COMMONS DEBATE.

Much heat was engendered in the House of Commons, on July 31st, and much light during the debate on the Government's new housing policy, which led to the recent resignation of Drea Addison. The light came from the Prime Ministar and the Minister for Health, Sir Alfred Mond, who coolly pricked the fantastic bubbles which Mr. Asquith, and Mr. Clynes had blown.

Not a house less will be built in England during the next eighteen months. Not a house less will be built in Scotland during the next two years. The houses already in band will occupy the full time of the building trade for those periods: Then what have the Government done to cause Dr. Addison's resignation -They have put a stopper on any more new tenders, and will enter into no more new engagements for the present. Their object is to get and bring down their prices. What was the good, asked Mr. Lloyd George and Sir Alfred Mond, to enter inte new tenders at present high prices, for houses that cannot be built for months? That was just asking the builders to put up their prices, and they would respond to a man. Prices came down last Febr-1 uary when the big cut was made by Dr. Addison, and be reduced the limits of the scheme.from 400,000 houses to under 300.000. They will come down "again when the building trade is getting to the end of its present engager ute, and is on the look-out for new business." AL Sir Alfred Mand said that is business. He asked why the Labour party should tage at this businesslike proposal, and why they wanted to pay more for, houses than they are worth? Why did they not rage last February Not a word was said then, but now there is no epithet of condemnation too strong, and D.

If the housing scheme has proved de plorably dear, that has been due not only to the enormous, cost of material, espe cially in 1919, but to the high costs of labour and the wretchedly low output. Sir Alfred faced the Labour party fear- lessly on this head, and told them the truth. Many of them did not like it, and tried to shout him down. But he never" Codes -A1, A.B.C. 5th Ed., Westers lost his easy self-possession even at the rudest cries.

The Minister assured the House, that he would treat the local authorities who had incurred expenses under the acheine as generously as possible, but, after all, they are only liable up to the amount of a 1d. rate, and he expressed samic scepticism as to their alleged indignation. Indeed, many are delighted to be rid of onerous obligations, and he drily obser red that it was no good building garden suburbs for people who could not afford to live in them. Sir Alfred stressed the folly of incurring huge liabilities at a time when the great thing is to escape insolvency; he claimed that by the new cut he had saved a capital sum of *£4,500,000, and he reminded his critics that the 2200,000 a year he is giving to the local authorities towards their losses in dealing with slums represents a capital sum of from four to five millions. He promised to make a serious beginning in tackling the alam problem, sad said he was not going to sit down and do. no thing because he could not do all he would like to do.

When hard pressed, however, his main point was that we ought not to stop building houses at home, while we were spending millions in Mesopotamia and from Dan to Beersheba. Ninety thousand pounds a month on. Aasyrian refugees, and no money for returned heroes' houses! On that point he kept ringing rather mono- tonous changes.

But his old friends sitting Dr. Addison apoke from below the round him kept asking him why he had gangway on the Government side, and not resigned before, and a little later on not without bitternessed many the Prime Minister put the same query hard words, though, as the Prime in its most searching forms.
